I created this CAS card a few weeks ago at my friend Amanda's house. We cased it from a photo she had saved on her computer. I believe she saw a similar version on Pinterest. I'm sorry the photo wasn't watermarked so i'm not sure who the original creator is -- thank you for the inspiration. : )

The 1-3/4" DSP circle is raised with a dimensional and the small DSP heart is also raised with half a dimensional.

When Alyssa saw this card she asked if it was a mickey mouse card! at first i laughed and thought what is she talking about and then said..hey good imagination.. : ) ﻿

Are you looking to create a stunning Valentine's day card in less then 10 minutes? ---This is it! I was inspired by a card i seen on Lindsay Amrhein`s Blog a while back. Her card had 3 red hearts in a row and a couple rhinestones. This is what i came up with. Thanks for the inspiration Lindsay! :)

Stampin' Up has updated the My Paper Pumpkin website to make it easier for you to register for your subscription. They have added a drop down box so you can choose if you are a Canadian or American subscriber. For all my Canadian customer please click on the drop down box in the top right corner to Canada-English. This will update the site to Canadian pricing and you will be able to enter your Canadian address. If you followed my instructions in the previous post you are already set up for the Canadian page and won't need to do anything further. The Canadian page will automatically pop up when connected to the site. (you won't need to click the drop down box, it will already show Canada-English in the top right corner).

This card was inspired by Mary Fish. (Thank you Mary for the inspiration)

Wow! I certainly can't believe a whole year has flown by? Looking back on our blog for 2012 was certainly fun for the kids and I. Ethan wants to make a "green drink" RIGHT NOW!-- lol and Alyssa's clearing off her craft table so she can craft with me tomorrow. She has to be my most favorite crafting buddy! We can't wait to spend the first day of the New Year in our PJ's crafting the whole day away.. : )

It was hard to pick just one favorite so i've broken it down.

Here are a few of my FAVORITE posts of Leigha's:

I'll be sad to see the beautiful flowers on the sidebar disappear after January 2nd. Leigha has done such a wonderful job creating paper flowers, she brings the flowers to life! It's no surprise to me that "Lynn's Bouquet" was chosen by SplitCoastStampers in their list of Favorites: The Best of 2012. How gorgeous is that bouquet??!!!!! My favorite bouquet has to be the Summer Bouquet . I love the colours in this bouquet and with the matching boutonniere and table center pieces to boot. Soooo AMAZING.. ; )

Thank you to everyone who purchased my Cupcake Tutorial this past year. I have to say i really enjoyed creating the cards for this tute. Especially the Movie Strip Card...i still can't part with these gorgeous cards! : )

I'm also thrilled to say that the bouquet I created for Lynn's Bouquet Tutorial was chosen by SplitCoastStampers in their list of Favorites: The Best of 2012.
What an honour to be chosen and included amongst such talented artists
:) Whoo hoo! My humble thanks to the talented and dedicated ladies who
volunteer their time to organize and run the Favorites forum over at
SplitCoastStampers.

Wow! Can you believe a whole
year has flown by? I can't. Looking back on 2012, I thought it would
be fun to share some of our most popular and favorite posts with you. I had a blast looking back at this past year's posts, and
seeing which ones were the most popular with our readers. Did you have
any favorites?

It was so much fun revisiting and going through old posts, that I just
HAD to list more than one. Here are a few of my FAVORITE posts of
Natasha's

We woke up to snow this morning. The kids were super excited! Ethan was hoping for no school but no luck...off he went to school ----oh but only AFTER he attempted to "jump" off all the snow from the trampoline.. : )

When Alyssa looked out the window her eyes popped out!! she yelled "wow..how did that happen??" then she ran upstairs and put on her snowsuit!

Since it was snowing i thought yay...INSIDE DAY...lets craft! BUT oooh no.....you don't run around the house with your snowsuit on and watch the snow fall outside!! so we bundled up and off we went to build a snowman... ; )

After we built a snowman we came inside for some hot chocolate, cookies and a snuggle. We had snow much fun.... : )
